| Was the breeder responsible -- or irresponsible? |
There are only TWO types of breeders:
responsible and knowledgeableOR irresponsible and unknowledgeable
| What do responsible, knowledgeable breeders look like? |
Responsible, knowledgeable breeders breed dogs together only when BOTH dogs have been medically tested for genetic health problems. Which health problems varies from euro to American pedigree's. A responsible, knowledgeable breeder knows which tests are required for his breed. ~Thyroid, hip, cardio~
Responsible, knowledgeable breeders do things with their dogs other than just breeding them. They are involved in canine activities such as obedience, agility, rescue,swimming, dog clubs, and so on.
Please think seriously about this, because your decision to buy from a particular breeder will affect future dogs for many years to come as well as their owners. Whoever you buy from will most likely breed again -- because you have rewarded them with money. Don't encourage unreputable or unknowledgeable people to keep doing what they're doing. Buy only from someone who has done all the right things. Someone who deserves to be rewarded and encouraged for there vast knowledge, and true love of the best breed ever the BOXER! |
